\quot{``Those horrible eyes. Unblinking and inhuman, 'twas like looking at fish more than a man.''}

\desc{According to legend, Dagon was spawned when Tiamat mated with the Tigris River. He was a powerful and fish-like creature, and his progeny all carry fish traits about their being. Hailing from the oceans, a Deep One gradually becomes scaled and gilled as he ages. His eyes flatten and rarely blink, and the lure of the sea becomes harder to ignore. There are few who can stomach long departures from the coast, for in their mind they can always listen for the strange whispered yet incessant call of the ocean.}

\desc{Deep Ones can breathe water as easily as air. The strange whispers they hear in their own minds can also be shared with anyone foolish enough to look a Deep One in their strangely opaque eyes. Over time, the Deep One's teeth become sharp like some benthic terror. But long before that happens, a Deep One's saliva becomes poisonous, imparting hallucinations and insanity to those it touches. Supposedly Deep Ones are immune to the effects, but some people aren't fully convinced.}
